Thanks for your time and attention.

We have never observed anything in the universe just popping into existence from nothing (...)

if we did, that would be a major shift in physics. in this regards I heard of (or read of) two candidates :
.1 if universe's expansion continues to accelerate, (it would mean) dark energy is increassing.
.2 an excess of hydrogen (clouds) outside of galaxies was observed that is difficult to explain with current cosmology.

I know these are not direct observation of something popping up, ...but still.

Yeah, dark energy is an interesting theory. I certainly don't understand enough about it to really be able to judge it, but it kind of feels like we're following our human tendency again, to find someone/-thing to blame, without that really aiding the explanation...
